I have always loved music. It somehow lives deep in my soul and I am constantly humming or singing under my breath. Don’t misunderstand. I’m not a great musician. My singing is good on some days and not so good on others. And despite having had piano lessons for a […]
I find it very difficult to pass up any book by Chautona Havig. I discovered her works when I got my first Kindle almost seven years ago and have read most of what she has written. One of the things I love about her books is the way they are […]
Though I had heard of author Robin Patchen years ago, this is the first time I have read any of her books. When I saw her book listed for a blog tour, I jumped at the opportunity. I was surprised to receive not just one, but all the books in […]
Carol Moncado has created such an intricate world through her books! She doesn’t hesitate to have people from one series pop up in others.

Christian authors Marion Ueckermann, Elizabeth Maddrey, Alexa Verde, Clare Revell, Heather Gray, Narelle Atkins, and Autumn Macarthur got together to create a series of books about the Rossi family in Italy. The individual books released last year, and I reviewed one of them here. Now, all nine books have been […]
